While most mobile devices use the 3.5mm stereo headphone output, most home audio systems with an amplifier or receiver use RCA jacks for audio inputs. This cable is ideal for connecting the output of your mp3 player or phone to your home audio system.

The cable is made of heavy-duty coaxial cable for each conductor. The conductors are 22AWG and each conductor is shield to prevent EMI or RFI interference from entering your audio system. The cable is 12mm x 6mm thick, while the connector housings are about 41mm long x 15mm diameter.

Because of their size and weight these cables are best suited for more permanent connections, such as from your PC to your sound system. If you want something more suitable for portable applications, please try one of our standard 3.5mm to RCA audio cables.

I brought this cable to use with my laptop to connect to my speakers from my receiver. It was a nice feeling cable and it was just what I needed. But the connection on this cable is horrendous. I cant simply connect it to my laptop to get it to work. I need to move it around twist it and turn it just to get it to work. and if the cable moves a bit I need to do it again. Sadly the cable feels nice and is a good price but It cant do its job.

by Bryan EspinalThat would be amazing. I was looking forward to the cable and the good reviews made it seem worth it. Even though I received a defective product I understand not everything can be made perfect. I really appreciate you fixing this and I would like to set up and RMA for a replacement. Again thank you

Well this situation turned out completely different than I thought. First off, the cable is fine, and it's just what I needed. I like the fact that it wasn't flimsy it was nice and thick with beefy connectors and also seems very durable. I needed it because I thought the speakers in my 27" monitor that I had my Xbox 360 connected to died. So I used the cable to connect the 3.5mm audio out on the monitor into the RCA inputs on my stereo. But the problem wasn't just the speakers themselves in the monitor, it was the entire audio circuitry so in other words, even connecting this cable didn't solve the problem. I ended up buying a brand new TV. But when I connected my Zune to my stereo with this cable, it worked perfectly. Anyway, thanks for taking an interest in my troubles. And thanks Monoprice for a great cable I still might need it in the future sometime (you never know).
